Maria Genoveva

61-year old Maria has had a mini supermarket in the market close to her home for six years. She is a very hard-working, responsible, and honest woman. She has many customers because she attends to them very well when they come to buy things. She lives in her own house with her daughter and her grandchildren. Maria is requesting a loan so she can stock her business with more merchandise, such as oil, eggs, staple grains, soup, shampoo, deodorants, and soap. This will enable her to obtain better profits and give her family a better quality of life.
